zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 03/01/2014 2:19 pm I have a sneaking suspicion that this one is a fake. Mainly because of a the color which implies a cast copy or possibly just a cleaned coin. I asked the seller about the weight and diameter and he says 36mm and 23.3g. Which again makes n me suspicious because a coin of this grade should not be a full 23.3g. Then again maybe if his scale only measures to 1 decimal places then it may round a weight of say 23.265 to 23.3g? Thoughts? Edited by zxcccxz 03/01/2014 2:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9879 Posts	Posted 03/01/2014 3:13 pm 23.3 grams is well within range. Doesn't look cast, just washed out. VF30 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 03/01/2014 3:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 03/01/2014 5:18 pm Just heavily worn, still worth melt value....does it pass the silver test? A bright ringing sound when dropped on hard surface, as opposed to a dull sound when you drop a nickel dollar? Report this Post to the Staff
